I get it, but it doesn’t make sense because AI never cleaned our houses. It also hasn’t stopped anyone from the hobby of drawing, which is what’s being depicted here. What am I missing?
It actually does stop people from the hobby of drawing. Like, emphatically, that is happening.
The value artists provide is eroded by these machines because they are producing much faster (and for new artists, arguably better in the mainstream sense) art.
It’s not a mystery… They are stealing art and reproducing it.
Personally, I think it’s fucking disgusting and I try to support true art, but this absolutely does inspire many new artists to either give up, or make it with LLM’s.
I think the illustration is supposed to be an analogy for the robot’s role in society, not a literal depiction of a common scenario found in one’s home.
You might be fastly overestimating the average persons tech-literacy…
Almost anyone I know gets a mild panic attack when a button slightly moves or their preferred app stops working.
Recently had a conversation with someone flipping their shit that the apple ‘Download’ dropdown (dropup?) From the task bar, does not let you drag and drop any files, just open them.
I think expecting even 0.0001 of the world to be able to flash/boot a custom ROM nowadays is a high order. Even if its so much easier than it was a few years ago…
They would be scared shitless from a terminal window let alone ‘[Y]es/[N]o’ ’
That’s essentially the same issue just one level down.
No reasonable ‘tech noob’ would willingly choose an OS for which they know that they will find reduced support for.
‘Fix X on IOS’ is quite a lot more likely to find results that. ‘Fix X on murena /e/os’
People get upset that apparently “it is litteraly impossible to buy a smartphone without AI” while there are plenty of alternatives, but instead of putting in the effort to learn they would rather blame an abstract technology and buy the next IPhone anyway.
Would have been funnier if the “how it started” was more grounded in reality
You’re also as a human still allowed to draw, nor are you forced to use AI in your home
What are we even talking about
It’s about the types of labor that machines are replacing. AI shifted that balance from menial labor to creative work.

I’m sure we’d have a hard time proving that out, so we can agree to disagree

Let the children complain about their imaginary issues or you will get negative internet points :(
Let the kids cry, it’s cathartic. Plus, considering what they upvote makes the downs pretty meaningless
you literally are forced to use AI in your home.
you literally cannot buy a smartphone without ai
Can you tell us who forced you to buy a smartphone? Do you need help? Blink twice if you’re in danger
Lol. C’mon man u can’t be serious. U can’t survive in society nowadays without smartphone. If you are retired maybe, but not living and functioning.
What forces you to use AI in your home?
There are probably plenty more but 2 is already alot higher then “litteraly cannot buy”

Or if you simply want to flash

Omg. Guys. 99.99999 of users can’t use those.
I’m sure that atleast some of the 99.99999% are smart enough to unbox a phone, insert a sim card and press the “call” button.

That’s, like, 8000 people. Dude your percentages are hyperbolic man
I don’t disagree with anything you’re saying, but I’m frustrated by trying to figure out how to respond to your last line without sounding pedantic.
Maybe I’m pedantic.
I’m not expecting people to flash custom roms, but both the pinephone and Jolla phone come pre-installed with open source os without AI.
If you don’t want to switch you never have to see a terminal. As easy as any other phone.
So the statement “litteraly cannot buy a smartphone without AI” is false.
That’s essentially the same issue just one level down. No reasonable ‘tech noob’ would willingly choose an OS for which they know that they will find reduced support for. ‘Fix X on IOS’ is quite a lot more likely to find results that. ‘Fix X on murena /e/os’
Wild example for a custom os
Buy big tech, get big tech.
People get upset that apparently “it is litteraly impossible to buy a smartphone without AI” while there are plenty of alternatives, but instead of putting in the effort to learn they would rather blame an abstract technology and buy the next IPhone anyway.
Pedantry aside, the real question is if the important apps are supported. For example banking.
This definitely depends on the banking app
my bank’s app worked fine using waydroid, but others may not.
Who TF still uses their phone for phonecalls?
Well atleast me, everyone at my job, the hospital, the government… probably most of the world?
My smartphone doesn’t have AI.
what OS are you using?
